A major field in the world of education and training, social science is the field where learners may explore special interests in the society and in the relationships between individuals in the society. Social science has always been an important instrument that allows us to gain understandings of social phenomena and changes by providing commentaries, producing explanations, and attempting to synthesize a diversity of information sets to formulate theories.
However, as changes take place in nearly every aspect of the modern world at an increasing speed, there quickly emerge new factors which have never been incorporated into the analytical framework of social science in the past decades. Ways of thinking that had previously been upheld and taught may, therefore, no longer be appropriate nor effective as tools to understand contemporary phenomena and changes. This major reference work serves as a collection of empirical research and academic recommendations that are current and contemporary. Covering Asian studies, criminal law, and the history of political thought, this book is beneficial to academicians and researchers interested in studying Asian social sciences.
